type method-wrapper?

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,
l=[]
print type(l.__delattr__)
# --> <type 'method-wrapper'>

I didn't find a corresponding type in the modules "types".
Is it missing or am I blind?

(Python 2.3.3)

I don't have the answer to the question, but perhaps this sheds a little
more light on it?

Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

l = []
type(l.__delattr__) <type 'method-wrapper'> import types
for t in dir(types): .... if t[-4:] == 'Type' and isinstance(l.__delattr__, getattr(types, t)):
.... print "It's a '%s'" % str(t)
....
It's a 'ObjectType'

I also am interested in what <type method-wrapper> is.

regards,

method_wrapper is an implementation type, not a language type in the same
way that int, list, function, etc are. I suspect that there are others
'missing' from the types module that you have not discovered yet.
